A Nassau BOCES school bus driver and matron have been relieved of their duties after a child with autism was left on their bus, a school spokeswoman said.

Jeannine Vitucci of North Massapequa said her son Anthony, 7, who is low functioning and mostly nonverbal, didn’t get off the bus when it dropped off students at the BOCES school on Jerusalem Avenue in North Bellmore on Wednesday morning.
